31 Best American Restaurants in Stamford

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“The food was amazing! I had the mafaldine Nero which is a seasonal selection and my fiancé had the beef Wellington and both were delicious. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and my pasta with braised octopus was to die for. We also had the creme brûlée which was delicious. The margarita was one of the tastiest margaritas and I’m not a big margarita fan. The old fashioned with hibiscus infused bourbon was unique in it’s taste but I loved it. It gave the bourbon a refreshing taste. Service was excellent!“

“Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had!!! Fabulous soups, wonderful menu and lovely people!!!“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“The chef here is a true artist, every dish that comes out is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell there's real passion and skill behind the menu. The lighter, health-conscious options are a standout fresh ingredients, clean flavors, and dishes that make you feel good while still being completely satisfying. One small request, more ukrainian inspired dishes( or dedicated day of ukrainian cuisine) would be a great add!“

“Yummy bowl of Clam chowder and equally delicious Fish and Chips. Eyes bigger than appetite. Finished with a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream and hot chocolate. Jean was fantastic. Great personality, gentlemen across from me were very happy to see him again. Jean was extremely professional and engaged. Highly recommend!“

“Good food Only time I’ll get a steak at a kosher place And since I’m kosher This is the only place I eat steak outside of home“

“My favorite burger spot in CT !!! I’ve been going here since 1996 when I lived on Summer Street as a child. Now as a 34 year old adult I STILL get just as excited about going as I did back THEN ! Maybe even MORE because now I have money for extra food !! 🤣🤣🤣. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My favorite is the chili cheese burger on a wedge!“

“A family reunion made special by the excellent food and service!“

“My wife and I just had dinner at the farmhouse at the crossroads!! great professional staff, great entertainment, food, absolutely delicious, be back many more times love this place!!“

“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.“

“Awesome wings They have the best most reasonably priced wings“

“This place is a blast! Great food, great beers and drinks, awesome bands! It’s the place to be!“

“We booked last minute for a birthday/book publishing party. Despite the weather (winter storm) we were accommodated with grace, professionalism, and great food and drinks! We will definitely come again when in town! Thank you for a great time!“

“Great place to dine with a fun atmosphere.“

“Wings were perfectly cooked (both bone-in and boneless), beer was ice cold. Great atmosphere, although a bit on the smaller side, the wings were probably the best ones I’ve had in Stamford. Pictured are buffalo & garlic parmesan boneless, side of fries, teriyaki bone-in, beer and a Dirty Shirley.

Update: another visit another 5 star experience. She had the chicken Fajitas and I had a smash burger with waffle fries. Excellent! Service by Joe was on point!! Definitely visit if around!“

“ricos tacos me gustaron mucho y más con los chiles toredos que hacen mis suegros jajajaja“
